DNA From an Idaho Murder Suspect: According to an investigator in court records that were unsealed on Thursday, the DNA of the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students was discovered on a knife sheath at the crime site. The Moscow, Idaho Police Cpl. Brett Payne’s affidavit was made public just before the 28-year-old Bryan Kohberger’s court hearing, who is charged with the deaths on November 13th, began.
Wednesday saw Kohberger traveling from Pennsylvania, where he had been detained at his family’s residence in the Pocono Mountains, to Idaho, where he was turned over to local law enforcement. For the alleged murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin in November, he is being detained in the Latah County Jail.
The affidavit states that on December 27, agents removed trash from the Kohberger family home in Albrightsville, Pennsylvania, and submitted evidence to the Idaho State Lab for analysis.

A DNA profile collected from the trash and one collected from the sheath were compared the following day.
The affidavit stated that at least 99.9998% of men would be expected to be removed from the possibility of being the suspect’s biological father.
In the widely watched case that has captured the attention of the country and rattled the little college town on the Idaho-Washington border, Kohberger is accused of four charges of first-degree murder as well as criminal burglary.
His lawyer in Pennsylvania, where he was arrested, and his parents reside, has stated that he is ready to be cleared.
For his alleged involvement in the killings, Kohberger is charged with four counts of first-degree murder and criminal burglary, according to Latah County, Idaho, prosecutor Bill Thompson. According to Monroe County district attorney Mike Mancuso, Kohberger had just concluded his freshman semester at Washington State University before traveling across the nation with his father to Pennsylvania.
The campus, which is in Pullman, Washington, is about a 15-minute drive from the University of Idaho. As a criminology Ph.D. student and teaching assistant at the institution, Kohberger enrolled there.
According to Jason LaBar of the Monroe County Public Defender’s Office, who represented Kohberger in his extradition case, he has refuted claims that he was involved in the killings at the University of Idaho. In an interview with NBC’s “Today” program on Tuesday, LaBar stated that Kohberger’s family was “shocked” by his detention and the charges levied against him.
Kohberger was regarded as being composed and wise by LaBar to “48 Hours.”
LaBar remarked, “I notice no distinctive qualities; he’s just an ordinary man to me.” “He is simple to converse to. He is aware of the circumstances. He keeps his cool.”
